Kingsmarkham ist ein kleines Städtchen im Süden Englands, aber anscheinend passieren gerade hier auf dem Land die heftigsten Mordfälle. Der ältere Inspektor Wexford (George Baker), der nur wie ein träger Hinterwäldler wirkt, ermittelt dann den Täter, unterstützt von seinem trüben verwitweten Kollegen Mike Burden (Christopher Ravenscroft). Wexford ist mit Dora (Louie Ramsay) verheiratet. Inspektor Reg Wexford und sein Kollege Mike Burden von der englischen Polizei lösen schwierige Fälle von Entführung, Mord und anderen Verbrechen in einer englischen Kleinstadt.
Die einzelnen Folgen entstanden nach den Romanen der englischen Autorin Ruth Rendell, die erstmals 1964 erschienen und ein großer Erfolg rund um den Globus wurden. Bakers Rollenfrau ist auch im wahren Leben seine Gattin. Vox zeigte zehn der eigentlich 23 Folgen mit George Baker samstags zur Primetime. Etliche weitere Filme mit anderen Darstellern entstanden in Großbritannien ebenfalls unter der Dachmarke The Ruth Rendell Mysteries.
